DEMI MOORE’S LATEST FILM RECEIVES STANDING OVATION AT CANNES
Demi Moore’s new horror film, The Substance, has left audiences in awe at the Cannes Film Festival. The movie, described as one of the goriest and craziest in years, received a 13-minute standing ovation. Moore, 61, stars as Elisabeth Sparkle, a TV host who discovers the chilling effects of the titular Substance. Directed by Coralie Fargeat, known for her previous works Revenge and The Sandman, the film also features Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid in supporting roles. The Substance has received the longest ovation at the prestigious festival so far.
Critics have been raving about the upcoming thriller, urging horror fans not to miss it when it is released on Mubi later this year. @BeyondFest tweeted, “Cannes just got splattered. THE SUBSTANCE is the most bats**tf***ing insane movie of the last 20 years.” Another critic, @JRParham, compared the film to a dark and twisted fable about Hollywood’s obsession with youth and beauty, stating that both Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley deliver superb performances. @SamuelAAdams praised the film as a midnight movie that connects with its audience and described it as a feminist parable for splatter junkies.
The Substance has been praised for its shocking and bloody portrayal of the entertainment industry’s unrealistic beauty standards for women. @Damiansport1 called it one of the wildest and most shocking films to ever screen at Cannes, comparing it to the works of directors Darren Aronofsky and David Cronenberg. However, some critics found the film to be heavy-handed and over-the-top.
The official synopsis of The Substance teases a chilling premise, where a mysterious substance promises to create a new, younger, and more perfect version of oneself. But with the rule of sharing time between the original and the new self, the question arises: What could possibly go wrong?
